As image and video files grow larger and larger, having as much storage available as possible becomes increasingly important. That’s why I always encourage people to buy devices with the most storage they can afford. It is also why we are so fond of Seagate’s GoFlex Satellite drive (read the review).

If, however, you want extra storage for your iPad, iPhone or similar movie device, but are looking for something smaller and less expensive you might want to check out the AirPivothead. This diminutive device lets you wirelessly upload, download and stream files. And, since it relies on the SD or USB storage you supply, you can have as much extra storage as you want. Have one 64GB SD card and you get an extra 64GB of storage. Have five of them and you get over 300GB of extra storage. It. Is. Awesome.

For those of you who like checking out the specs…

The device is small, light and simple to use.

You need to bring your own SD card or USB storage stick but they are so inexpensive these days that picking up a few will only cost you a few shekels.

Using it couldn’t be easier. Here’s the company’s video showing the setup.

I used the AirPivothead during my recent trip to Cuba. It was a great way to quickly and easily pull video off the Pivothead video sunglasses since the 8GB of onboard storage is great but is quickly consumed when shooting high-definition video. And at under $100 it is a relatively inexpensive way to make sure you have enough storage on the go. Like the Pivothead video glasses, this is one item that will be seeing a lot of use during CES 2013. Learn more and order your own here on the company website. And here is a video shot using the glasses…

Having a father who was heavily involved in early laser and fiber-optical research, Dan grew up surrounded by technology and gadgets. Dan’s father brought home one of the very first video games when he was young and Dan remembers seeing a “pre-release” touchtone phone. (When he asked his father what the “#” and “*” buttons were his dad said, “Some day, far in the future, we’ll have some use for them.”)Technology seemed to be in Dan’s blood but at some point he took a different path and ended up in the clergy. His passion for technology and gadgets never left him.
